技术领域technical field
本发明涉及一种在智能家庭系统中用于发现和控制受控者(controllee) 设备的方法和装置。The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for discovering and controlling controllee devices in a smart home system.
背景技术Background technique
随着技术的快速前进，已经出现所谓的智能家庭系统，它们能够依靠电子设备来控制家用电器。With the rapid advancement of technology, so-called smart home systems have emerged, which are able to rely on electronic devices to control household appliances.
在智能家庭系统环境中，可能可以使用远程控制设备来控制各种类型的电子设备(如照明系统，加热系统，安全系统，空调，冰箱和电视机)。这样的智能家庭系统由作为控制对象的多个被控设备(受控者)，用于控制受控者的控制器和服务器组成。In a smart home system environment, it may be possible to use remote control devices to control various types of electronic devices (such as lighting systems, heating systems, security systems, air conditioners, refrigerators, and televisions). Such a smart home system consists of a plurality of controlled devices (controlled persons) as control objects, a controller and a server for controlling the controlled persons.
受控者可包括上述的照明控制系统，加热控制系统，安全系统，空调，冰箱，电视机和机器人清洁器，其可以被电子地控制。某一受控者可以具有控制设备，诸如机顶盒和无线电子控制设备。机顶盒或无线电子控制设备可以与另一设备相结合。例如，机顶盒可被包括在诸如智能电视机的电子器具中，并且无线电子控制设备可以在智能手机或平板计算机中实现。Controlled persons may include the aforementioned lighting control systems, heating control systems, security systems, air conditioners, refrigerators, televisions, and robotic cleaners, which may be electronically controlled. A controlled person may have control devices such as set-top boxes and wireless electronic control devices. A set-top box or wireless electronic control device can be combined with another device. For example, a set-top box may be included in an electronic appliance such as a smart television, and the wireless electronic control device may be implemented in a smartphone or tablet computer.
服务器可以存储关于部署在智能家庭中的受控者的信息，并提供设备信息到机顶盒或无线电子控制设备。它也可以向机顶盒或无线电子控制设备提供各种数据用于控制部署在智能家庭中的受控者。The server can store information about the controlled persons deployed in the smart home and provide device information to the set-top box or wireless electronic control device. It can also provide various data to the set-top box or wireless electronic control device for controlling the controlled person deployed in the smart home.
智能家庭系统正在从有线控制形式向无线控制形式发展，并从用于直接控制受控者的控制形式向用于经由家庭内部安装的接入点(AP)控制受控者的控制形式发展。Smart home systems are evolving from a wired control form to a wireless control form, and from a control form for directly controlling a controlled person to a control form for controlling the controlled person via an access point (AP) installed inside the home.
基于无线控制和基于AP的智能家庭系统可能会遇到如下的问题。例如，如果在智能家庭中有两个AP，则受控者可以与最近的AP或具有较强信号强度的AP通信。Wireless control and AP-based smart home systems may encounter the following problems. For example, if there are two APs in a smart home, the controlled person can communicate with the closest AP or the AP with stronger signal strength.
此时，如果无线电子控制设备连接的AP不同于受控者连接的AP，则无线电子控制设备误判出受控者已从控制区域消失或没有要控制的受控者。在这样的情况下，如果在智能家庭系统中存在两个或更多个AP，则用户可能会遇到意外的情形，并且不能控制目标受控者。At this time, if the AP connected to the wireless electronic control device is different from the AP connected to the controlled person, the wireless electronic control device misjudges that the controlled person has disappeared from the control area or that there is no controlled person to control. In such a case, if there are two or more APs in the smart home system, the user may encounter an unexpected situation and cannot control the target controlled person.

表1存储控制设备ID、受控者ID和可用AP地址。在表1中，家庭名称可以是用户的真实姓名或在服务器注册的ID。控制设备ID可以是能够蜂窝通信的移动通信终端的电话号码。受控者ID可以是受控者的唯一产品号或 MAC地址。Table 1 stores the control device ID, the controlled person ID, and the available AP addresses. In Table 1, the family name can be the user's real name or the ID registered with the server. The control device ID may be a phone number of a mobile communication terminal capable of cellular communication. The controller ID can be the controller's unique product number or MAC address.
虽然绘制表1作为例子以帮助理解本发明，但是服务器150的数据库可以存储更多的多样信息。Although Table 1 is drawn as an example to aid understanding of the present invention, the database of server 150 may store more diverse information.
如果在步骤404从控制设备200接收到受控者列表请求，则在步骤406 服务器从其数据库检索与控制设备对应的受控者的信息，例如标识符。接下来，服务器150生成列表形式的所检索的受控者信息，并在步骤408将信息发送到控制设备200。此时，服务器150可以通过由控制设备200请求的网络发送对应的信息。例如，如果控制设备200已通过移动通信网络发送受控者列表请求信号，则在步骤408响应可以通过移动通信网络发送。替换地，如果控制设备200经由AP发送受控者列表请求信号到服务器150，则在步骤 408响应可以通过AP发送。If a controlee list request is received from the control device 200 at step 404, then at step 406 the server retrieves information, eg identifiers, of the controlees corresponding to the control device from its database. Next, the server 150 generates the retrieved controlee information in the form of a list, and transmits the information to the control device 200 in step 408 . At this time, the server 150 may send corresponding information through the network requested by the control device 200 . For example, if the control device 200 has sent the controlee list request signal through the mobile communication network, the response at step 408 may be sent through the mobile communication network. Alternatively, if the control device 200 sends a controlee list request signal to the server 150 via the AP, the response may be sent through the AP at step 408.
如果在步骤408从服务器150接收受控者列表响应，则控制设备200可以在存储器330中存储受控者信息。If the controlee list response is received from the server 150 at step 408 , the control device 200 may store controlee information in the memory 330 .
接下来，控制设备200搜索包括在从服务器150接收的受控者列表中的受控者。可以按照每个受控者执行该受控者搜索或可以发送请求来自所有受控者的答复的信号。图4是针对这样的示范性情况，其中如参考数字410a和 410b所示，控制设备200发送受控者答复请求信号到各个受控者。Next, the control device 200 searches for a controlee included in the controlee list received from the server 150 . This controllable search may be performed per controlee or a signal may be sent requesting a reply from all controlees. FIG. 4 is directed to an exemplary case in which the control device 200 transmits a controlee reply request signal to each controlee as indicated by reference numerals 410a and 410b.
此时，控制设备200可以与受控者直接通信，或者可以经由位于附近的 AP发送答复请求信号给受控者，如参考图1描述的。虽然图4针对信号被直接发送到受控者112和122的情况，但是信号经由AP发送到受控者112和 122是可能的。还可以向全部受控者发送答复请求信号。在这种情况下，受控者112和122可以进行信道感测，用于当没有其他受控者发送答复信号时生成答复信号，或者可以生成随机值，以等待与随机值对应的退避时间的期满。At this time, the control device 200 may directly communicate with the controlled person, or may transmit a reply request signal to the controlled person via an AP located nearby, as described with reference to FIG. 1 . Although FIG. 4 is directed to the case where the signals are sent directly to the controlees 112 and 122, it is possible that the signals are sent to the controlees 112 and 122 via the AP. It is also possible to send a reply request signal to all controlees. In this case, the slaves 112 and 122 may perform channel sensing to generate a reply signal when no other master sends a reply signal, or may generate a random value to wait for the backoff time corresponding to the random value expires.
在以下的描述中，假设控制设备200分开发送答复请求信号到各个受控者112和122。In the following description, it is assumed that the control device 200 separately transmits the reply request signal to the respective controlees 112 and 122 .
因此，在步骤412a和412b控制设备200可以接收来自受控者112和122 的答复信号。然而，在第二受控者122连接到不同的AP或位于难以接收来自控制设备200的信号的区域中的情况下，第二受控者122不能接收该受控者答复请求信号，因此在步骤412a无法发送所述答复信号。Accordingly, the control device 200 may receive reply signals from the controlees 112 and 122 at steps 412a and 412b. However, in the case where the second controlee 122 is connected to a different AP or is located in an area where it is difficult to receive a signal from the control device 200, the second controlee 122 cannot receive the controlee reply request signal, so in step 412a Failed to send the reply signal.
如上所述，控制设备200可以在步骤414接收响应于答复请求信号的答复信号，并在步骤416确定是否发现全部受控者。如果没有从某一受控者接收答复，则控制设备200可以在已经在步骤408接收的列表中将该受控者标记为不可控，该列表存储在存储器230中。即，控制设备200在步骤418生成未答复的受控者列表。生成该列表来经由服务器控制未答复的受控者。例如，如果在步骤408接收的列表中包括第一受控者112和第二受控者122，并且如果没有从第二受控者122接收答复，则控制设备200确定经由服务器 150来控制第二受控者。下文中，包括要经由服务器150控制的受控者的列表被称为“未答复的受控者列表”。As described above, the control device 200 may receive the reply signal in response to the reply request signal at step 414 and determine at step 416 whether all controlees are found. If no reply is received from a certain controlee, the control device 200 may mark the controlee as uncontrollable in the list already received in step 408, which is stored in the memory 230. That is, the control device 200 generates an unanswered controlee list at step 418 . The list is generated to control unanswered controlees via the server. For example, if the first controlled person 112 and the second controlled person 122 are included in the list received in step 408, and if no reply is received from the second controlled person 122, the control device 200 determines to control the second controlled person 122 via the server 150. controlled. Hereinafter, a list including controlees to be controlled via the server 150 is referred to as an "unanswered controlee list".
如果控制设备200从所有的受控者接收答复信号，则它在步骤420确定所有的受控者都处于可控状态中。If the control device 200 receives reply signals from all the controlees, it determines in step 420 that all the controlees are in a controllable state.
步骤410至418或至420的操作可以响应于用户用于控制受控者的控制请求在预定时间的单位中执行。假设在图1中例示的第一受控者112是机器人清洁器。位于第一AP 110的通信区域111中的机器人清洁器可以完成清洁，然后移动到第二AP 120的覆盖区域。这可能是这种情况，其中，正经由第一 AP 110控制受控者的控制设备200失去经由第一AP 110对受控者的控制。这也可以这样的情况，其中在步骤410的操作期间不存在于AP 110和120周围的人或物体位于那里从而改变特定AP的无线电信道环境和覆盖区域。The operations of steps 410 to 418 or to 420 may be performed in units of predetermined time in response to a user's control request for controlling the controlled person. Assume that the first controlled person 112 illustrated in FIG. 1 is a robot cleaner. The robotic cleaner located in the communication area 111 of the first AP 110 can finish cleaning and then move to the coverage area of the second AP 120 . This may be the case where the control device 200 that is controlling the controlee via the first AP 110 loses control of the controlee via the first AP 110 . This may also be the case where persons or objects that were not present around APs 110 and 120 during the operations of step 410 are located there to alter the radio channel environment and coverage area of a particular AP.
由于可能会发生各种变化，所以优选的是以预定时间为单位或响应于用户利用控制设备200做出的用于控制受控者112和122的请求来执行步骤410 后续的操作。Since various changes may occur, operations subsequent to step 410 are preferably performed in units of predetermined time or in response to a request made by the user using the control device 200 for controlling the controlled persons 112 and 122 .
以上描述已经针对于其中控制设备200获取受控者112和122的列表并且与基于列表发现的受控者112和122(在经由AP的控制中在相同AP的覆盖区域中)进行直接通信的情况，以及其中控制设备生成不可能与其直接通信的受控者(在经由AP的控制中在相同AP的覆盖区域之外)的列表的情况。下文对于控制设备200使用获取的信息控制受控者112和122的操作进行描述。The above description has been directed to the case where the control device 200 acquires a list of the controlees 112 and 122 and directly communicates with the controlees 112 and 122 (in the coverage area of the same AP in the control via the AP) discovered based on the list , and the case where the control device generates a list of controlees (outside the coverage area of the same AP in control via the AP) with which direct communication is not possible. The following describes the operation of the control device 200 to control the controlees 112 and 122 using the acquired information.
图5A 和5B 是根据本发明的示出控制设备控制受控者的过程的信号流程图。图5A是控制设备无法直接或经由AP控制受控者的情况的信号流程图，而图5B 是控制设备可以直接或经由AP控制受控者的情况的信号流程图。5A and 5B are signal flow diagrams illustrating a process of a control device controlling a controlled person according to the present invention. FIG. 5A is a signal flow diagram for the case where the control device cannot control the controlee directly or via the AP, and FIG. 5B is the signal flow diagram for the case where the control device can control the controlee directly or via the AP.
参照图5A ，控制设备200在步骤500停留在空闲状态。这里，空闲状态可以是等待接收特定操作请求(例如，以特定的电子设备为目标的服务请求) 的状态。如果控制设备200是蜂窝移动通信终端，则空闲状态可以包括如下的状态：等待呼入/呼出事件，到来/外发的文本消息事件，应用运行警报，或接收来自特定应用或特定服务器的推送消息。Referring to FIG. 5A , the control device 200 stays in an idle state at step 500 . Here, the idle state may be a state of waiting to receive a specific operation request (eg, a service request targeting a specific electronic device). If the control device 200 is a cellular mobile communication terminal, the idle state may include the following states: waiting for an incoming/outgoing call event, incoming/outgoing text message event, application running alert, or receiving a push message from a specific application or a specific server .
在步骤502控制设备200可确定是否接收特定的电子设备的服务请求。这里，特定的电子设备的服务请求可以是对于控制受控者的请求。如果用户通过输入/输出接口240做出控制特定电子设备的服务的请求，则处理器220 和/或应用控制模块270可以运行相应的控制程序，或调用驻留在存储器中的程序。In step 502, the control device 200 may determine whether to receive a service request for a specific electronic device. Here, the service request for a specific electronic device may be a request for a controlee. If a user makes a request to control a service of a specific electronic device through the input/output interface 240, the processor 220 and/or the application control module 270 may execute a corresponding control program, or invoke a program resident in a memory.
接下来，在步骤504，控制设备200基于存储在存储器330中的信息确定该服务以其为目标的电子设备是否是未答复的设备。如果确定电子设备是未答复的电子设备，则过程进行到步骤506，否则进行到图5B 的步骤536。Next, at step 504, the control device 200 determines, based on the information stored in the memory 330, whether the electronic device to which the service is targeted is an unanswered device. If it is determined that the electronic device is an unanswered electronic device, the process proceeds to step 506, otherwise to step 536 of FIG. 5B.
如果在步骤504确定该服务请求的电子设备是未答复的电子设备并且从而过程进行到步骤506，则控制设备200生成用于服务请求的受控者的服务请求信号。如上所述，取决于受控者的类型，用户可做出的服务请求是受限的。因此，控制设备200生成与由该用户请求的并且该对应的电子设备(即，受控者)必须执行的服务对应的信号。因此，在步骤506生成的服务请求信号可以包括受控者的标识符和关于所请求的操作的信息。If it is determined in step 504 that the electronic device of the service request is an unanswered electronic device and thus the process proceeds to step 506, the control device 200 generates a service request signal for the controlee of the service request. As mentioned above, depending on the type of controlled person, the service requests that the user can make are limited. Accordingly, the control device 200 generates a signal corresponding to the service requested by the user and which the corresponding electronic device (ie, the controlled person) has to perform. Accordingly, the service request signal generated at step 506 may include the controlee's identifier and information about the requested operation.
之后，控制设备200在步骤508向服务器150发送用于受控者的服务请求信号。例如，处理器220控制通信接口260通过网络262将服务请求信号发送到服务器150。此时，如果控制设备200是能够使用蜂窝移动通信网络的电子设备，则网络262可以是蜂窝移动通信网络；如果控制设备是仅能够使用AP用于通信的电子设备，则通信接口260可以发送信号到AP。After that, the control device 200 transmits a service request signal for the controlled person to the server 150 at step 508 . For example, the processor 220 controls the communication interface 260 to send a service request signal to the server 150 through the network 262 . At this time, if the control device 200 is an electronic device capable of using a cellular mobile communication network, the network 262 may be a cellular mobile communication network; if the control device is an electronic device capable of using only an AP for communication, the communication interface 260 may send a signal to AP.
如果在步骤508服务请求信号是用于预定的受控者，则在步骤510服务器150可以生成将被发送到相应的受控者的服务控制信号。图5A 的信号流程图是在如图1所示生成用于控制第二受控者122的请求的假设下描绘的。If the service request signal is for a predetermined controlee at step 508, the server 150 may generate a service control signal to be sent to the corresponding controlee at step 510. The signal flow diagram of FIG. 5A is depicted under the assumption that a request for controlling the second controlee 122 is generated as shown in FIG. 1 .
相应地，在步骤512服务器150向第二受控者122发送在步骤510生成的服务控制信号。此时，服务器150可将在步骤510生成的服务控制信号发送到第二受控者可能连接的所有的AP，并且如果可预先检查第二受控者已连接到的AP，则服务器150可以发送在步骤510生成的服务控制信号到对应的 AP。Accordingly, at step 512 the server 150 transmits the service control signal generated at step 510 to the second controlee 122 . At this time, the server 150 may transmit the service control signal generated in step 510 to all APs to which the second controlee may be connected, and if the APs to which the second controlee has been connected can be checked in advance, the server 150 may transmit The service control signal generated in step 510 is sent to the corresponding AP.
如果接收到服务控制信号，则第二受控者122在步骤514通过对应的AP 向服务器150发送服务控制响应信号。第二受控者122可以在步骤518执行受控的服务。此时，应该注意到，步骤514和518的次序可以改变。例如，有可能执行受控的服务，然后在步骤514发送包括结果信息的服务响应信号。If the service control signal is received, the second controlee 122 sends a service control response signal to the server 150 through the corresponding AP at step 514 . The second controlled person 122 may perform the controlled service at step 518 . At this point, it should be noted that the order of steps 514 and 518 can be changed. For example, it is possible to perform a controlled service and then send a service response signal at step 514 including result information.
如果接收到服务控制响应信号，则在步骤516服务器可以响应于服务控制响应信号向控制设备200发送控制结果消息。此时，服务器150可以通过控制设备200已经在步骤508用于发送服务请求消息的网络向控制设备200 发送控制结果消息。如果步骤514和518的次序被改变，则可以包括受控的服务运行结果数据。如果用户对于控制开/关安全系统做出请求，则开/关操作控制请求可以通过上述操作被发送到安全系统。因此，第二受控者122开/关安全系统，然后可以向控制设备200提供开/关操作结果。If the service control response signal is received, the server may send a control result message to the control device 200 in response to the service control response signal at step 516 . At this time, the server 150 may send the control result message to the control device 200 through the network that the control device 200 has used to send the service request message in step 508 . If the order of steps 514 and 518 is changed, then controlled service run result data may be included. If the user makes a request to control the on/off security system, the on/off operation control request may be sent to the security system through the above operation. Therefore, the second controlled person 122 turns on/off the safety system, and can then provide the control device 200 with the result of the on/off operation.
虽然在图中未示出，但是控制设备200可以在显示器250上显示在步骤 516从服务器150接收的关于控制结果的信息。在显示模块250上显示控制结果的情况下，控制设备200可以基于经由服务器150从受控者接收的信息显示关于受控者是否被成功控制的信息和受控者的当前状态。Although not shown in the figure, the control device 200 may display the information on the control result received from the server 150 in step 516 on the display 250. In the case of displaying the control result on the display module 250 , the control device 200 may display information on whether the controlee is successfully controlled and the current state of the controlee based on information received from the controlee via the server 150 .
下文参考图5B 做出控制设备直接地或经由AP控制受控者的情况的描述。A description is made below with reference to FIG. 5B of the case where the control device controls the controlled person directly or via the AP.
控制设备200在步骤530停留在空闲状态。在此，空闲状态可以是等待接收特定操作请求(例如，以特定的电子设备为目标的服务请求)的状态。如果控制设备200是蜂窝移动通信终端，则空闲状态可以包括如下的状态：等待呼入/呼出事件，到来/外发的文本消息事件，应用运行警报，或接收来自特定应用或特定服务器的推送消息。The control device 200 stays in the idle state at step 530 . Here, the idle state may be a state of waiting to receive a specific operation request (eg, a service request targeting a specific electronic device). If the control device 200 is a cellular mobile communication terminal, the idle state may include the following states: waiting for an incoming/outgoing call event, incoming/outgoing text message event, application running alert, or receiving a push message from a specific application or a specific server .
在步骤532控制设备200可确定是否接收到特定的电子设备的服务请求。这里，特定的电子设备的服务请求可以是对于控制受控者的请求。如果用户通过输入/输出接口240对控制特定电子设备的服务做出请求，则处理器220 和/或应用控制模块270可以运行相应的控制程序，或调用驻留在存储器中的程序。The control device 200 may determine whether a service request for a specific electronic device is received at step 532 . Here, the service request for a specific electronic device may be a request for a controlee. If a user makes a request to control a service of a specific electronic device through the input/output interface 240, the processor 220 and/or the application control module 270 may execute a corresponding control program, or invoke a program resident in a memory.
接下来，在步骤534，控制设备200基于存储在存储器330中的信息确定该服务以其为目标的电子设备是否是未答复的设备。如果确定该电子设备是未答复的电子设备，则过程进行到步骤536，否则进行到图5A 的步骤506。Next, at step 534, the control device 200 determines, based on the information stored in the memory 330, whether the electronic device to which the service is targeted is an unanswered device. If it is determined that the electronic device is an unanswered electronic device, the process proceeds to step 536, otherwise to step 506 of Figure 5A.
如果在步骤534确定该服务请求的电子设备是未答复的电子设备并且从而过程进行到步骤536，则控制设备200生成用于服务请求的受控者的服务请求信号。如上所述，取决于受控者的类型，用户可做出的服务请求是受限的。因此，控制设备200生成与由该用户请求的并且该对应的电子设备(即，受控者)必须执行的服务对应的信号。因此，在步骤536生成的服务请求信号可以包括受控者的标识符和关于所请求的操作的信息。If it is determined at step 534 that the electronic device of the service request is an unanswered electronic device and thus the process proceeds to step 536, the control device 200 generates a service request signal for the controlee of the service request. As mentioned above, depending on the type of controlled person, the service requests that the user can make are limited. Accordingly, the control device 200 generates a signal corresponding to the service requested by the user and which the corresponding electronic device (ie, the controlled person) has to perform. Accordingly, the service request signal generated at step 536 may include the controlee's identifier and information about the requested operation.
之后，控制设备200可以在步骤538直接地或经由控制设备连接到的AP 向对应的受控者发送服务控制信号。图5B 的信号流程图是在控制如参照图1 描述的第一受控者112的假设下描述的。Afterwards, the control device 200 may send a service control signal to the corresponding controlee at step 538, either directly or via an AP to which the control device is connected. The signal flow diagram of FIG. 5B is described under the assumption that the first controlee 112 is controlled as described with reference to FIG. 1 .
如果接收到服务控制信号，则在步骤540第一受控者112直接地或经由控制设备200连接到的AP向控制设备200发送服务控制响应信号。If a service control signal is received, at step 540 the first controlee 112 sends a service control response signal to the control device 200 directly or via an AP to which the control device 200 is connected.
虽然在图中未描绘，但是如果在步骤540从受控者接收控制响应信号，则控制设备200可以在显示器250上显示控制结果信息。在显示模块250上显示控制结果的情况下，控制设备200可基于经由服务器150从受控者接收的信息显示关于受控者是否被成功控制的信息和受控者的当前状态。Although not depicted in the figure, if a control response signal is received from the controlled person in step 540 , the control device 200 may display control result information on the display 250 . In the case of displaying the control result on the display module 250 , the control apparatus 200 may display information on whether the controlee is successfully controlled and the current state of the controlee based on information received from the controlee via the server 150 .
第一控制设备112也可以在步骤542执行受控的服务。如上所述，步骤 540和542的次序可以改变。例如，有可能在步骤542执行受控的服务，然后在步骤540发送包括结果信息的服务响应信号。The first control device 112 may also perform the controlled service at step 542 . As described above, the order of steps 540 and 542 may vary. For example, it is possible to perform a controlled service at step 542 and then to send a service response signal at step 540 including the result information.
